heirflick Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 might be of interest to those wishing to model the working tpo...
Junctionmad Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Interesting. Did the same system ever get used in Ireland
jhb171achill Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 The GSWR had it somewhere, I think. Possibly the BNCR too.
heirflick Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 and heres a clip of what went on inside the TPO - days long since gone............ ...............jaysus - didnt the lads have some crack then? fair play!
burnthebox Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Bloody hell, I totally enjoyed that, where men were men & work got done & everything in between was enjoyed. Thanks for posting heirflick, that was very enjoyable,
burnthebox Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Would it have I looked anything like this ! http://www.ebay.ie/itm/251710078412
DiveController Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 We discussed this model when it was on there. Look at this thread starting about page 54 with some links on TPO and nice pictures from Glenderg on subsequent pages http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/58-eBay-Watch/page54
heirflick Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Would it have I looked anything like this ! not really, this is the baby... wouldnt be a bad idea to make one up and run it just for a bit of fun. it would look nice running with a few pulmans behind our 800 'Meadb'........ now thats a thought thts going to fester!
heirflick Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 forgot to say that the TPO pics were taken at Downpatrick a short tine back. myself and Enniscorthyman pondered on the subject for a while!
Jawfin Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Nice pics - 2977, same as 2978, is owned by Án Post and is stored in Inchicore - the RPSI had 2119 but cut it up, not sure when Quite sure those 2 are the only ones left, not including full brakes etc. - any corrections on that?

Horsetan Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Nice pics - 2977, same as 2978, is owned by Án Post and is stored in Inchicore - the RPSI had 2119 but cut it up, not sure when Quite sure those 2 are the only ones left, not including full brakes etc. - any corrections on that? 2977 is I think the only one left with most of its fittings still present. 2978 doesn't have the original internals anymore, although the exterior is much as it was.
